For engaging and debating Rand Rover as if anything rational can come from his other side. It is a complete waste of time. I suggest when Rand Rover posts something infuriatingly tone deaf, wrong and mronic (or simply whenver RR posts), ignore it, act like it is never there. Or better yet, treat it as some form of perfromance art, read it with a bongo drum, beatnik style, snap your finger for approval and move on.
Bah. This OP is another variant on DNFTT, except the troll in this case is simply someone who holds exasperating views. DNFTT doesn’t work, has never worked, and will never work on a message board.
What I wonder is why anyone gets so up in arms over Rand anymore. That’s just his schtick. Sometimes it’s damned funny.
ETA: didn’t read Giraffe’s post.
Meh…people still participate in adhay threads (gods know why), and gonzomax’s inane and ridiculous posts are still seriously answered, instead of getting the level of derision they deserve.
Well, to be fair, it is hard to argue with conceited ideological fantasy. Like a nerd who argues that the Lord of the Rings movies are terrible because they left out one or more characters and that they could have made better movies.
Ya, I love how he “proved” that UHC in Canada would eventually destroy the Canadian economy, based on the fact that unemployment rates used to be high in the past. He didn’t want to acknowledge the current positive economic performance in UHC-burdened Canada, because that did not agree with his premise.
He’s either stupid as a box of rocks, or deliberately obtuse and antagonistic.
Gangster Octopus’ reasonable assertion is that he is the latter, and we should stop engaging it. I admit to being guilty as charged.
